In this Unit we covered content related to the teaching of productive skills. Although the productive skills which are speaking and writing, have some differences, they also have the same ending which is to communicate. As mentioned in this Unit, usually writing doesn't receive as much importance as speaking, but it is important to work on both skills because both of them are important. Although most students may want to focus on improving their speaking skills, it is important to avoid ignoring the importance that writing has in communication. In this Unit we also learnt that whenever we communicate, we have in mind a purpose or reason for doing it. Some of the main reasons for communicaton include: a communicative purpose, the need or desire to say something, or we just want to listen to something. Within this Unit we also learnt to structure a typical creative speaking activity lesson and a typical creative writing activity lesson. Overall, from this Unit I learnt not only important aspects of writing and speaking, but I also learnt to structure lessons that are effective in a way that encourage the students to learn the new language by practicing their productive skills in an effective manner. Moreover, from this Unit I also learnt that games are important in the practice of a new language because games not only allow for controlled practice but also for free practice material.
